Members of var. confertiflorum complex hybridize with at least four varieties of Eriophyllum lanatum. Eriophyllum latilobum, E. jepsonii, E. confertiflorum var. tanacetiflorum, and some populations of E. confertiflorum var. confertiflorum with larger, broader leaves and longer peduncles may have resulted from such hybridizations (L. Constance 1937; P. A. Munz 1959; J. S. Mooring 1994).
Some southern California Indian tribes used var. confertiflorum as a remedy for rheumatism (E. C. Jaeger 1941). It has been introduced into cultivation as an ornamental.
